Left Chamba at 8 AM and took a directly bus to Daramsala for 140 Rs. It was a normal bus and a very shaky drive. Had a window-seat and good view to areas around. Passed Dalhousie and Nurpi, saw a lot of monkeys all around.

Daramsala is the place of the Tibetan exil-government and the Dalai Lama is living here (Gangchen Kyichong). The place I am staying is McLeod Ganj (Tibetan Ashoka Hotel) and it is the most touristy place I have been in India until now. Tomorrow I am going to check the Tibetan sights.

New route: Daramsala - Delhi - Varanasi - Kolkata - Darjeeling - Kathmandu - Delhi

My plans are leaving Daramsala tomorrow night, taking the nightbus to Dehli. Spending the day in Dehli and visiting Jama Masjid and some Bazars to leave Dehli to Varanasi at 6.30 PM by night-train. I am looking forward very much to Varanasi and same to Kolkata. This is going to be very interesting and more different…
